English term or phrase: alcohols
I have found two variants of the spelling of "alcohol" in Hindi : ल्कोहल and अल्कोहॉल. Which of them is right? Is there a better variant?
swetlanka
अल्कोहॉल, मदिरा, शराब
Explanation:
I think if we will put the transliteration like अल्कोहॉल, it will be correct, and in common Hindi I have seen it to be used like मदिरा या शराब।

शराब is not a Hindi word originally. Still it is used more commonly than मदिरा which is a Hindi word. In Hindi शराब is used as signular as well as plural. I have not come across the plural as शराबें.
